A fine example of vernacular architecture on Chapel Hill in Ambleside.
How Head is partly of the C16th and some of the stone used was taken from the nearby Galava Roman fort, which lies in Borrans field - owned at the time by the Braithwaite family who built How Head. The former chapel of St Anne is seen behind on the left.
